Lag/Delay then crazy catch up.

Slight bump.

I've tried reinstalling drivers for my graphics card.

No change.

I hope this can be fixed soon.

I attempted to run the game using compatibility mode as Windows 7. It slightly improved it, allowing me to play a bit longer until the freezing began to occur again.

Not sure how helpful this is, but maybe others experiencing it can try that too.

My latency normally floats around 30-40ms and ever since this league started I have been having these spikes to 250 and some times even 1k+ms. Sounds similar to what you're experiencing so I am bumping this post.

Bumpin this thread up.

Same stuff - game suddenly freezes (latency graph goes flat and freezes at whatever number it was, FPS and frame time continue to run with fluctuations), every UI element can be opened/closed, but character is stuck and doesnt respond to anything. Sometimes lag lasts for 10ish sec, sometimes for 3-5 minutes straight

Sadly nothing we can do about that, since this is a server/ server provider issue. I'm far from an expert in that regard, but based on the reports from prior leagues my guess is that in order to avoid login queues and severe server performance issues they start shifting players to other servers once a server(-region) is full. However, GGG's server provider doesn't seem to have an "intelligent" system in place: Instead of shifting players to the next nearby server locations with free capacities it seems pretty random where you actually land (serverwise) if you are one of these "overflows".

I have problem with unexpected disconnects after a huge lag spike. I used VPN to tunnel my network traffic through different servers and now I have lag spikes for a while, but not dc's. Maybe this suggestion help. I usually connect through London gateway but switched my network to Germany through VPN for now.

Same problem here, and when the delay/catch up doesnt happen, the problem is even worse, my loading screen(between leaving my hideout and entering a map for example) stays loading forever, making me have to close PoE and having to enter the instance another time.

Same issue here. SG server
